SUMMARY:
when we call memset, memcopy,memmove etc(this are llvm intrinsic function) in the c source code. the llvm will generate IR
like call call void @llvm.memset.p0i8.i32(i8* align 4 bitcast (%struct.S* @s to i8*), i8 %1, i32 %2, i1 false)
for c source code
bash> cat test_memset.call
struct S{
int a;
int b;
};
extern struct S s;
void bar() {
memset(&s, s.b, s.b);
}
like
%struct.S = type { i32, i32 }
@s = external global %struct.S, align 4
; Function Attrs: noinline nounwind optnone
define void @bar() #0 {
entry:
%0 = load i32, i32* getelementptr inbounds (%struct.S, %struct.S* @s, i32 0, i32 1), align 4
%1 = trunc i32 %0 to i8
%2 = load i32, i32* getelementptr inbounds (%struct.S, %struct.S* @s, i32 0, i32 1), align 4
call void @llvm.memset.p0i8.i32(i8* align 4 bitcast (%struct.S* @s to i8*), i8 %1, i32 %2, i1 false)
ret void
}
declare void @llvm.memset.p0i8.i32(i8* nocapture writeonly, i8, i32, i1 immarg) #1
If we want to let the aix as assembly compile pass without -u
it need to has following assembly code.
.extern .memset
(we do not output extern linkage for llvm instrinsic function.
even if we output the extern linkage for llvm intrinsic function, we should not out .extern llvm.memset.p0i8.i32,
instead of we should emit .extern memset)
for other llvm buildin function floatdidf . even if we do not call these function floatdidf in the c source code(the generated IR also do not the call __floatdidf . the function call
was generated in the LLVM optimized.
the function is not in the functions list of Module, but we still need to emit extern .__floatdidf
The solution for it as :
We record all the lllvm intrinsic extern symbol when transformCallee(), and emit all these symbol in the AsmPrinter::doFinalization(Module &M)

Without this change, names start with 'L' will get created as
temporary symbol in MCContext::createSymbol.
Some other potential prefix considered:
.L, does not work for AIX, as a function start with L will end
up with .L as prefix for its function entry point.
..L could work, but it does not play well with the convention
on AIX that anything start with '.' are considered as entry point.
L. could work, but not sure if it's safe enough, as it's possible
to have suffixes like .something append to a plain L, giving L.something
which is not necessarily a temporary.
That's why we picked L.. for now.

Implement passing of ByVal formal arguments when the argument is passed
partly in the argument registers, with the remainder of the argument
passed on the stack.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D78515
Adds support for passing a ByVal formal argument completely on the stack
(ie after all argument registers are exhausted).
